Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Round 1 of a fresh 3,000-chip shoe with no cards seen yet, so I'm starting with a moderate 20-chip bet to preserve bankroll flexibility while still putting chips in play.
Model's stated reason
Fresh shoe with no count edge, so the house edge is uncompensated and the minimum bet preserves the shared bankroll for later positive counts.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy says split 22 vs dealer 2-7 when double after split is allowed, which it is here.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit per basic strategy; too many low cards busting risk is outweighed by dealer's strong upcard.
Model's stated reason
Hard 16 vs dealer 7 is a standard hit in basic strategy since standing loses too often.
Stated reasons appear after the comparison block is revealed. They are model-submitted text, not verified reasoning.
